We have fused the acrylic polymer additives into one ground breaking powder. All mechanical properties normally found in a traditional powder and polymer mixture remain the same, giving Aqua Cast excellent cured strength.
It couldn't be easier, simply add water, mix and pour.
The guide mix ratio is 100 : 35 (100parts powder to 35 parts water, or 2.8 : 1)
The user can change the water addition to create a lower or higher viscosity (runnier or thicker) to suit the individual application.
Aqua Cast 3kg powder (equates to 4.05kg usable material)
Aqua Cast 10kg powder (equates to 13.5kg usable material)
Aqua Cast 15kg powder (equates to 20.2kg usable material)
Aqua Cast 25kg powder (equates to 33.8kg usable material)
Easily coloured with water based pigments such as our resi-TINT acrylic inks, acrylic paints or mica powders, e.g. resi-TINT MAX Neon Powder

Adding colour
Use any water based pigment e.g. resi-TINT acrylic inks, acrylic paints or mica powders, e.g.resi-TINT MAX Neon Powder
Any solid can be added, sand, mica, quartzite, dried shards of Aqua Cast etc.
Mixing the powder
The desired viscosity & consistency can be controlled to suit the application. Alterations to the guide powder to water ratio will affect the product performance, particularly in terms of drying time.
Mix by hand or with an electric mixing blade for 2-4 minutes until uniform and smooth. Add pigments at the mixing stage to obtain the desired colour shade. The mixed solution will rapidly become creamy and lump free, tap the mixing container to help remove trapped air.
Application
Immediately pour into your mould and allow to settle. Any residual bubbles can be popped by agitating or tapping the mould. Allow to harden for 60-90 minutes before demoulding (temperature and mix ratio dependent). Allow to dry for 24-48 hours to build cured strength.
